Chapter 31: A Thousand Miles of Corpses
The two walked across the stone bridge of a stream in front of the village, and came to the first courtyard gate at the entrance of the village, only to see that the courtyard door was wide open, but the door was closed, and there was an idle carriage and a stone grinding plate in the courtyard, and the courtyard was also overgrown with weeds, and a few bees flew around among the small flowers, which added a little vitality to this lifeless courtyard.
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone inside?" Liu Cheng felt that his question was really nonsense, shook his head, and motioned for Red Sleeves to follow him.
They walked to the village again, and every house was about the same, some of them had no roof, some of them had half of the wall collapsed, and they didn't know how long the village had been deserted, and it seemed that it had long been uninhabited.
The more they walked inside, the more they felt that the cold was pressing, eerie and terrifying, and they could feel the abnormal cold without wind, and both of them couldn't help but get goosebumps, feeling that their arms and backs were cold, in short, there was an inexplicable fear, which could also be caused by the atmosphere here.
Walking to a relatively open place in the village, I saw a large mansion, and in the courtyard were standing those carrying coffins, these twenty or so people stood motionless, just standing there quietly, with their backs to Liu Cheng and them.
The two stopped, Liu Cheng regretted seeing such a scene, originally to track down the whereabouts of the rich man of the Lin family, even if he found the body, there was no head, it was still unrecognizable, it was better to follow the man in black, how could he follow these people who picked up the corpse to such a terrifying and weird place.
Seeing that he was stunned, Red Sleeves squeezed him, "Shall we go in?"
"You stay here, I'll take a look in the courtyard first. After Liu Cheng finished speaking, he carried the sword and walked over lightly.
Coming behind those people, Liu Cheng suddenly coughed, thinking that they would be startled, but who knew that those people were motionless and unresponsive.
Liu Cheng went around to the front to see what these people looked like? At first glance, Liu ** was stunned.
Both men and women, they are all good-looking, lifelike, just like alive, but their expressions are stiff, they keep laughing when they laugh, and they keep straining their faces, but their eyes don't blink, which is not similar to the mechanical puppets of the fairy world. However, the skin on their faces and hands is the same as that of real people, so realistic, it seems that the production level is even higher than that of the Peach Blossom World.
Liu Cheng was looking at the big house in the courtyard, the door was open, and someone seemed to be lighting a fire inside, because he could faintly hear the crackling sound of burning wood and the sound of bellows ringing.
Liu Cheng looked back at the red sleeves and wanted her to follow up, but there was not even a figure at the gate of the courtyard, where did the red sleeves go?
Oops, it's good if the two of them don't separate, such a short distance, Red Sleeves should be able to hear movement even if they are snatched away or moved by themselves, is it that I'm too nervous.
Liu Cheng's thoughts were very chaotic, and he couldn't think much at this time, he jumped out of the hospital as soon as he jumped out, this height and distance were close to the level in the dream.
He was a little happy, but he couldn't imagine that he had made a breakthrough in light skills in a hurry. But as soon as he landed, he saw that there was no shadow of red sleeves around him, and he began to get anxious again. "Hongxiu, where are you?" shouted several times, but no one answered.
Liu Cheng, who was angry, picked up the sword, rushed back to the courtyard, and went straight to the house, thinking, if there is anything unclean or a thief in the house, then I can only fight for Tianxingdao.
Rushing into the main hall of the house, I saw only some wood and scrap metalwork. There were two skins hanging on the beams of the house, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be human skin, Liu Cheng felt bad in his heart, although he was mentally prepared, he was still frightened by what he saw.
Liu Cheng walked towards the east room, opened the curtain, and saw a large pool inside, soaked in those headless corpses, which made people sick. He hurriedly retreated.
He ran to the West House again, and when he opened the curtain and went in, he saw an old man hunched over and gray-haired, burning a red stove. There were several young and beautiful women standing around, all of course, motionless robots.
The old man didn't look back, and said calmly: "I'm here, and I won't say hello, today's goods are good, I'm very satisfied, and I will reward you well in the evening and give you a good oil." ”
Liu Cheng pointed a sword at his back and said loudly, "Who dares to steal a corpse and skin a person, do you know what kind of punishment should be received according to the law of the Ming Dynasty?"
"What are you talking about, the law of the Ming Dynasty, isn't it the Song Dynasty now? What is the law of the Ming Dynasty?" The old man turned his face, his face was too old to look good, and he didn't know how old he was.
"Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid there, what are you doing as these puppets?"
"What are you doing, playing, playing house, marrying a daughter-in-law, haha, that's all I have fun. Worship heaven and earth every day, enter the cave room every night, people and ghosts are not afraid, demons and monsters do. After saying that, the old man stood up, and was almost as tall as the beams of the house, and this was a giant.
Liu Cheng felt that it was wrong, he seemed to have suddenly become bigger, when he was sitting just now, his body was not so big, could it be said that this was a change technique?
The old man glared at the little eyes, pointed at Liu Cheng and said, "I didn't embarrass you, you dare to point a sword at me, are you impatient?"
As soon as Liu Cheng heard it, the old monster was angry, or the first to strike, shouted "up", the red dragon sword flew out in response, the sword driving force was too strong, not only pierced the giant's chest, even the roof was penetrated, with the loud sound of the explosion, the rubble and tiles fell one after another, the roof actually opened a big hole, the sword flew back from the air, and after falling into the house, a fly turned, and the giant's head was cut off directly.
The whole process is smooth, effortless, and powerful, and no worse than Fluttershy's. The giant's head fell behind, and then he fell, and his body returned to its normal size.
Liu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, slowly put the sword and withdrew the scabbard.
The corpse fell to the ground without bloodshed, but the head that was turned to the side suddenly spoke, "It's amazing, I didn't expect the master to be here, the old man is disrespectful, but after all, you are a descendant, and the gap between you and me is too big." You should save this trick. ”
Liu Cheng was so frightened that he almost fell, how could he still speak after cutting off his head, could he be an immortal?
I saw the body that had fallen to the ground sit up again, touch the neck of his severed head, and then grope on the ground again.
Liu Cheng saw that the human body on the neck was completely organized, and it was not at all like the headless neck in Zhaojia Village, which was full of gears and the like.
"Stupid, here it is. The head shouted. It's hilarious to scold yourself for being stupid.
Strange to say, the body found the head and picked it up.
As soon as Liu Cheng saw that the situation was not good, he couldn't let them merge, so he drove his sword up again, and stabbed and slashed, which can be said to have dismantled the corpse into eight pieces.
The half of the face with a mouth on the ground actually laughed, "You kid is still cutting hard, I won't play with you anymore." Are you drinking here tonight? "Finished. The corpse on the ground, which had been chopped into several pieces, turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared.
Liu Cheng was a little stunned, this opponent is a bit like Murong Shuangsha's ability, killing but not dying, and the black smoke is gone, it is really too difficult to deal with. But why does he call me uncle?
